Clarence Halliday (1898–1937) (also known as Clarence
Holiday) was an American musician and the probable father of singer, Billie
Holiday.
At the age of 17 years old, Halliday became the unmarried
father of Billie Holiday who was born to 13 year old Julia Sadie Fagan.
Halliday rarely visited Fagan or her daughter.
When he was 21 years old he moved from Baltimore to
Philadelphia.

the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra (1928–33). Halliday also recorded with Benny
Carter (1934) and Bob Howard (1935) and worked with Charlie Turner (1935),
Louis Metcalf (1935–36), and the Don Redman Big Band (1936–37).
